Onward Rejoicing!

Birthday

Well, it’s another week and onward we go!  After a nice relaxing Sunday the gears all ready to turn and get going!  We are working in the shop this morning and then heading back into the house for the Living Room Remodel.  It’s a good thing we have an inside project planned since it has done nothing but rain for the last week here in Green Bay.  My list got completed last week except for the projects that needed to be done outside.  I had a couple of painting projects that had to wait and it looks like they will continue to have to wait.  We have thunderstorms predicted for all week again.

Here is a simple card using the triple banner flag stamp.  I also love the stitch circle stamp.  It probably ranks up there as one of my favorite!  Hope your week is starting out good.  Beth

Triple Banner

Birthday

triple banner

Good Morning!  This morning I have used the triple banner flag stamp without using a triple flag card!  I can see other possibilities too. You may notice that the sketch of this card is the same as Monday.

Construction has begun and the house is a mess!  We made good progress yesterday.  The wall is completely down between the living room and dining room.  Kevin had to move some electric outlets out of the wall which made it more time consuming.  I got all the shows balanced and the paper work done.  I even painted my piano yesterday!  It came out awesome.  Today I need to wax it and Kevin has some holes to fix in the walls from the electric project. Then the carpet will all get ripped out and the ceiling painted today.  So lots to do to keep us out of trouble!

Here we go Again…

We are home was again!  The truck drove into the driveway at 2:02 this am.  I’m up and at it already but Kevin is sleeping since he drove all the way home.  He’s a night owl and I’m a morning person so it works out good.

Everything starts all over again with Novi, MI show this weekend.  For those interested information is at http://www.heirloompro.com.

A Very Happy Birthday to our daughter Karissa today!  We couldn’t ask for a better daughter!

Here is another Triple Flag Banner card from The Paper Cut, Inc.  I’m hoping to get this paper added to our website by this weekend (Hoping to con my new brother-in-law into learning how to do it and then do it :)!)

Look for some new stamps tomorrow that we designed to go into the three flags.  Came out so good!

Loving this fish card.  I did make the mistake of stamping my words to close to the right side so they show on the front.  Live and Learn!  This fish card is another card that has been added to our MNT (make n takes) in the booth.  Have a great hump day!

Summer has Arrived!

Birthday

I believe summer has finally arrived here is WI!  We finally have gotten some heat and today the forecast is for more heat.  The kids have been keeping the pool busy!  It was quite hot yesterday in the vulcanizing room so I expect it will be warm today too 🙂 not complaining …we’ve been waiting for some warm weather!

Our snails have been very popular and how cute is this for sending cards in the mail.  I still love to get cards snail mail way.  It’s off to work!  Have a good Tuesday!

Another MNT!

vinyl chalkboard

so it was quite a successful shopping trip!  Got this vinyl chalkboard for by my cutting table for $1.79!  All those little yellow sticky notes will be transfer to it.  They have typical measurements on them.

What does a girl do with all those left over 1″ red stripes of paper from another project!??

Design another Project!

Here’s to another MNT Project!  Hopefully I will have it done for this weekend.  We are leaving at 5:00 am in the morning.  The dog has already been taken to the kennel, the suitcases are all packed, and the showers will be done before we go to bed so we are ready to roll!

Bugger of a Day!

ok so do you ever have one of those days???  Gasp, I should maybe just go back to bed!  My day didn’t start out to bad except that I slept in a little later than I wanted too so I was a bit annoyed with myself.  But I do love this ladybug card that has one of our new stamps that was designed to go with The Paper Cut, Inc Flag Paper! The flags cut beautifully on the brother machine.  Which, by the way, we put Bill Me Later with Paypal on our website so you can make payments on the machine!

Wednesday is usually cleaning day but I’ve adopted a new cleaning habit that I really like.  I found the idea on Pinterest.  Pinterest has changed a lot of things in my life!  I now clean a little bit every day and really the house stays pretty clean all week…so today was clean the wood floors and vacuum/dust the living room and dining room.  I usually clean the hard wood floors with tea bags seeped in water.  I was going to do the floors the other day so I boiled the tea bags in water and then tried to save it for today.  Not a good idea.  My water was moldy so I started that all over again and proceeded with no problems 🙂

I usually cook on Wednesdays for the whole family so I decided to start a little early and made the corn casserole and grape salad and all that went fine. Although with all the delays I didn’t get to the shop until 9:15 am and that is where it started going down hill 🙂

I wanted to make circle cards with my brother machine and after many failed attempts (it can be done…I just need to do it on another day!) this is what I ended up with.

and yes that is a big hole in my mat!  So I’m going shopping!
